operators of the damage they are causing the approach to the town's ramps. He mentioned <br /> that without a presence to observe the loading procedure,there is no incentive to <br /> discourage this type of operation. Concrete pre-fabs being lowered into place are a viable <br /> option to reduce the effects said Rick York. <br /> Public Access Update: Several reports of enjoyed access to beaches on Waquoit eastern <br /> shore via Wills Work Rd were reported by Al Wickel. He also mentioned he had contacted <br /> Falmouth Harbormaster for advice in signage for shoaling at our town ramps.Without <br /> enforcement measures, or a town ordinance or by-law that restricts this type of <br /> destruction,there is really no way to stop the power on loading being accomplished. It only <br /> takes a few efforts to effect a negative change to the approach to our ramps Al said. <br /> Popponesset Bay/Waquoit Bay report:The Harbormaster reported that there still <br /> debris trapped along the shores in vegetation. He is still concerned that this debris could <br /> become a hazard when tidal changes and storm surges float the debris out on to the Bays. <br /> There is at this time very limited ability to remove the material trapped along the shoreline. <br /> Courtesy safety inspections are ongoing with the hope that we can start the new season off <br /> on the right foot explained Stephen. He has noticed that several operators are found to <br /> have outdated safety equipment,if they have any equipment at all. He mentioned he was <br /> refraining from issuing citations and that he hoped to reverse the trend through education <br /> and friendly advice. <br /> Sewer Committee: Nothing new to report <br /> Water Quality Update: Don. MacDonald reported that the dates of water sampling have <br /> been set for the two bays during the mornings of July 6th at 0815 and 20th at 0815 as well as <br /> August 3rd at 0645 and 171h at 0645. Dates and times were set by UMASS Dartmouth based <br /> on sunrise and time of high tide. <br /> Barnstable County Coastal Resource Commission: Nothing new to report <br /> Waterways Improvement Plan and Dredging: Nothing new to report <br /> New Business: Rick York mentioned he would like to see a renewed interest in educating <br /> property owners on our town's waterways to include their street address on floats,ramps <br /> and piers so that from the water's edge one could tell what the street address was. Having <br /> the address on the floating materials would help return lost items and increased safety <br /> would be enjoyed during emergency response if the street address was known by those on <br /> the water experiencing an emergency. <br /> Motion to adjourn was made by Don Barton and 2nd by Stan Healy at 1017 AM. <br /> #killr <br />
